This is quite a mystery to me but I think it's a notion that matters for me as it can be a way to travel everywhere in the world just as in the video of Gwenola Wagon which is a world tour in Google Earth Globodrome, you can watch it here.

"Globodrome is an enquiry on the representations of the Earth using a virtual globe, which follows the same itinerary as Phileas Fogg and Passepartout in Around the World in Eighty Days. The itinerary follows the latitudes from East to West and crosses all the meridians of the globe, from London to the Mont-Cenis, from Brindisi to the Red Sea, from Suez Canal to Aden to Socotra, from Mumbai to Kolkota, from the sea of China to Kong Kong, from Taiwan to Yokohama, from the 180th meridian to San Francisco, from Sacramento to Interstate 80, from Salt Lake City to Des Moines, from Chicago to New York, and from Dublin to London." Gwenola Wagon's works are important to me. In the same veins, there is a movie by Jean Marc Chapoulie, called "The Middle Sea", where he narrates il About videosurveillance, I am really interested by the works of Julia Scher: " Inspired by the French philosopher Michel Foucault and the sociologist Gary T. Marx, Julia Scher's work focuses on the subjects surveillance and cyber-sphere. Aiming at the exposure of dangers and ideologies of monitoring systems, Scher creates temporary and transitory web/installation/performance works that explore issues of power, control and seduction. In the last 20 years, her research has explored social control dynamics in public space. The art projects have taken the form of interactive installations, reformulated surveillance, site tours, interventions, performances, photography, writing, net.art, linear video, and sound."
